Congratulations to the Charter School of San Diego for winning the Malcom Baldridge National Quality Award (MBNQA)!
Established by the U.S. Congress in 1987, the award acknowledges select U.S. organizations that have implemented successful quality management systems.
As a 2021 award recipient, the Charter School of San Diego becomes the first two-time awardee in the education category, having first won the award in 2015.
The Charter School of San Diego (California) provides free, personalized education to students in grades 6-12 who are at risk of not graduating from high school through a hybrid in-person/online study program. In addition to implementing quality systems, the school has also maintained an impressive academic track record, with "student performance for grades 6-8 and 11 in the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress is double that of all competitors in English language arts and three times higher in math," according to a recent U.S. Department of Commerce press release.
